Mildenhall Town Football Club is a football club based in Mildenhall, Suffolk. They are currently members of the Isthmian League North Division and play at Recreation Way.

History

The club was established in August 1898.^[1] They won the Suffolk Junior Cup in 1900, beating Southwold RA Volunteers 4–0 in the final.^[1] In 1945 the club joined the Bury & District League, where they played until switching to the Cambridgeshire League in 1969.^[1] In 1974–75 they were promoted to the league's Premier Division.^[1]

In 1988 Mildenhall joined the Eastern Counties League as founder members of the new Division One.^[2] The club won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup in 1995–96, beating Foxton 3–0 in the final. They were Division One runners-up in 1998–99, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 2006–07 the club were runners-up in the Premier Division. They won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup for a second time in 2009–10, beating Wisbech Town in the final, and went on to retain the trophy the following season with a 2–0 win against Haverhill Rovers.

The 2016–17 season saw Mildenhall win the Eastern Counties League Premier Division title, resulting in promotion to Division One North of the Isthmian League.

Ground

After playing at several grounds, the club moved to its current ground on Recreation Way following World War II, initially sharing with the cricket club. The site had been gifted to the town b the Bunhill family during the war.^[3] In 1970 the cricket club left and the football pitch was rotated 90º. Following promotion to the Eastern Counties League, a 250-capacity standing covered area was erected in 1989 and a clubhouse built in 1991.^[1] Floodlights were installed in 1994.^[3] Another 50-seat stand was installed in 2017.^[4]
